Totally...if a bike 'feels' AND 'looks' right...it rides right

A little too much.
I tried to build an ugly hack for leaving locked up in dodgy places, using a dented frame and parts I already had spare. The idea was to make something mechanically sound, but unstealable.
A few cycle jumbles later, it's got a Flite Ti, Syncros post and stem, Record Aheadset and front hub, Mavic 631 cranks and ring, Superbe Pro brakes (all bought for peanuts, but still...) and I'm looking at a replacement top tube and a respray.
It's a disease.
Then of course I'll be looking for another frame to build up as a hack, and the process will start all over again.

It is all personal taste and choice at the end of the day. TBH, as long as a bike makes you happy then thats what it is all about
Yes!
and that is also the chalenge
When i start a project i have more or less the look in mind that i want to go for,..and the search for these items is also for me part of the fun and the hobby
I now have 3 bikes in my livingroom because they have turned out so beautifull that these are like art to me.
